we should stop posting one off things as examples of ‘good’ or ‘bad’. it just makes things that are actually good seem impossible to achieve.
Comment on Most Australians take more than 30 minutes to get to work. How does that compare to other countries?

I think metro stations are a bit overkill, especially for Australia’s cities. I’d settle for the government releasing solid plans for train lines in new areas, and developers being required to cede the land for them while building out new suburbs. As well as increasing the taxes on those developers profits, directly into a fund to pay for the line to be built.
